We consider the problem of designing an optimal quantum detector to minimize the probability of a detection error when distinguishing between a collection of quantum states, represented by a set of density operators. We show that the design…
Every quantum state can be represented as a probability distribution over the outcomes of an informationally complete measurement. But not all probability distributions correspond to quantum states. Quantum state space may thus be thought…
The applications of random quantum circuits range from quantum computing and quantum many-body systems to the physics of black holes. Many of these applications are related to the generation of quantum pseudorandomness: Random quantum…

We derive a lower bound for the Wehrl entropy in the setting of SU(1,1). For asymptotically high values of the quantum number k, this bound coincides with the analogue of the Lieb-Wehrl conjecture for SU(1,1) coherent states. The bound on…
We investigate convergence properties of discrete-time semigroup quantum dynamics, including asymptotic stability, probability and speed of convergence to pure states and subspaces. These properties are of interest in both the analysis of…
This paper explores the use of "generated sets" $\{ \{ k \boldsymbol{\zeta} \} : k = 1, \ldots, n \}$ for function approximation in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces which consist of multi-dimensional functions with an absolutely convergent…
We study how useful random states are for quantum metrology, i.e., surpass the classical limits imposed on precision in the canonical phase estimation scenario. First, we prove that random pure states drawn from the Hilbert space of…
The necessary and sufficient conditions for minimization of the generalized rate error for discriminating among $N$ pure qubit states are reformulated in terms of Bloch vectors representing the states. For the direct optimization problem an…
For Hilbert spaces $\mathcal H\subseteq L^2(\mathbb R)$ we consider the convex sets $\mathcal D_+(\mathcal H)$ of Wigner-positive states (WPS), i.e.~density matrices over $\mathcal H$ with non-negative Wigner function. We investigate the…
k:th power (amplitude-)squeezed states are defined as the normalized states giving equality in the Schroedinger-Robertson uncertainty relation for the real and imaginary parts of the k:th power of the one-mode annihilation operator.…
Instead of formulating the state space of a quantum field theory over one big Hilbert space, it has been proposed by Kijowski [Kijowski 1977] to represent quantum states as projective families of density matrices over a collection of…
Quantum state discrimination is a fundamental concept in quantum information theory, which refers to a class of techniques to identify a specific quantum state through a positive operator-valued measure. In this work, we investigate how…
For a Minkowski centered convex compact set $K$ we define $\alpha(K)$ to be the smallest possible factor to cover $K \cap (-K)$ by a rescalation of $\mathrm{conv} (K\cup (-K))$ and give a complete description of the possible values of…
Let $p$ be a prime. For $d\in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathbb{Q}_p^d$ be the standard $d$-dimensional p-adic Hilbert space. Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\text{Sym}^m(\mathbb{Q}_p^d)$ be the p-adic Hilbert space of symmetric m-tensors. We prove the…
We present a stringy realization of quantum field theory ensembles in $D \le 4$ spacetime dimensions, thus realizing a disorder averaging over coupling constants. When each member of the ensemble is a conformal field theory with a standard…
We have determined numerically the maximum quantum violation of over 100 tight bipartite Bell inequalities with two-outcome measurements by each party on systems of up to four dimensional Hilbert spaces. We have found several cases,…
Motivated in part by John Wheeler's assertion that the continuum nature of Hilbert Space conceals the `it-from-bit' information-theoretic character of the quantum wavefunction, a theory of quantum physics (Rational Quantum Mechanics - RaQM)…
Instead of solving the fine-tuning problems by some automatic method or by cancelling the quadratic divergencies in the hierarchy problem by a symmetry (such as SUSY), we rather propose to look for a unification of the different fine-tuning…
